Kincardine

This memorial is found in front of the Royal Canadian Legion MacDonald Branch #183, a beautiful old structure in the heart of Kincardine. A military shaped marker declares this to be "Military Hill". Along with the memorial featuring the names of those lost in the World Wars, the Legion has a mural on the side of the building and a concrete pyramid of smaller personal memorials erected by it's members. I found this to be very touching, something we do not often see.
The main memorial was erected here in 1978, when it was moved from the branch's previous location. Accompanying the stone with the names of the lost local heroes, is a red granite cross.
A very attractive Legion branch in a scenic town, this memorial is worth visiting if you are in the area.

About Me

My goal as I travel throughout the Province of Ontario, is to photograph and document all the war memorials dedicated to the brave souls who gave their lives for their country. Lest We Forget.
I am also a modern day explorer, traveling the world in search of history, hidden treasures, abandoned buildings, monuments and interesting stories that can only be found off the beaten path. I prefer to travel by motorcycle, as there is no better way to experience the world.
